Adventures in Autism

by Peggy Meador

Eustacia Cutler/ Temple Grandin

I’m reading Eustacia’s book A Thorn in my Pocket and love it! I see her speak this thursday and will let you know what she says, but for now get her book and read it. I loved chapters 7 and 8 especially. She’s so practical, intuative, passionate and loving. She was raising Temple during the dark ages for autism, but had and used many resources to help them both survive. A good lesson.
